Q: How would you describe living from your perspective?

Q1; If you're asking me on how I'm living I can't complain but in terms of life as a whole I would describe living as a sort of dog eat dog world where there are a lot of people that are only out for themselves and nobody really cares about anybody in the world we live in but that's just the way things have always been and will continue to be long after you or I are buried in the ground. I'm not saying there aren't any good people out in the world because there are but just like lucifer they can fall too. I hope I'm not sounding edgy but if I am it can't be helped. we live a lonely existence.

Q: The story of your username: earshot

Q2: The name is after a band I like to listen to but if there is any deeper meaning it's the range or distance over which one can hear or be heard.

Q: How did you discover NG, and why did you join?

Q3: I discovered Newgrounds after watching KaptainKristian video about the website on youtube back in 2017.

I joined because it seemed like more fun over here than any other website i've been on over the years; twitter is for losers, instagram is for morons, youtube is for assholes, reddit is for the feebles, facebook is for old people, patreon is for panhandlers and any other website don't even deserve a mention but Newgrounds is for people to have the freedom to express themselves to show off their talents and ability to create while having fun.

Q: Why do you like to draw?

Q4: I like to draw because it's like a form of meditation and gives me peace in a chaotic world even if I do suck at it.

Q: What do you like about comic books and manga?

Q5: "i think you can do anything with comics that you can do in just about any art form." - Harvey Pekar which is what I 100% agree with and like about comics and manga.

Q: What makes a good movie? And what makes a movie bad in your opinion?

Q6: A good movie is a good story one with heart and soul just watch any Quentin Tarantino movie you can tell he loves what does but there's also technical aspects like weather the script is well written or well directed and well acted. A bad movie is one without these qualities like Steven Seagal's movies.

Q: What does it mean to be a real geek?

Q7: To be knowledgeable in something you're interested in whether it be music or programming.

Q: What is your opinion and what do you think about making graffiti? Why do you think people were confused by your thread Bone Headz

Q8: graffiti is a unique art form that's not for everyone and I think at the time when I made the thread "bone headz" I was hoping to see if there were any other graffiti writers on the site which to no avail. looking back at the thread I cringe because I was such a toy at the time.

Q: What is your opinion of the Newgrounds community?

Q9: The Newgrounds community is pretty chill I'd say very welcoming to all walks of life even if some people can be dicks. sometimes I'll see people ask in the forums about how to get more followers or how they can get front paged to which I say if you're only doing art for clout and money than you're doing it for the wrong reasons you should be making art for yourself and not for others who really gives a shit if you're front paged or not or having the most followers it shouldn't determine your value as a artist or as a person a lot people care about this sort of stuff but I think it's just stupid. To me the only positives you get out of art is clarity like "oh that drawing came out nice" or "I can draw hands better than I did a month ago" progression and trying to get better at whatever it is that you do.

Q: Why were you called the "Magician" in high school?

Q10: Because I could make problems disappear. I'm just joking nobody called me that I wish they did though it would've been cool.

Q: Your advice for surviving life

Q11: No matter what happens in life you keep moving forward.

Q: What’s the story behind the time you were eating in your car outside a fast food joint, enjoying the day, when a drunk homeless woman suddenly dropped her pants and started defecating right beside your vehicle? How do you think that experience has changed your outlook?

Q12: i don't know if it changed my outlook but it definitely changed my appetite at the time.

Q: What have you learned about yourself creating art?

Q13: I am impatient and lazy but stubborn and uniquely devoted to my own beliefs.
